Sources of #Acetylcholine (ACh):
Eggplant, bitter orange, common bean, foxglove, mistletoe, mung bean, nettle, pea, radish, spinach, pumpkin, wild strawberry.

Sources of #Glutamate:
Caviar, cheese, crackling, chips, dried cod, fish sauces, gravies, instant coffee powder, meats, miso, mushrooms, noodle dishes, oyster sauce, Parmesan cheese, ready-to-eat meals, salami, savory snacks, seafood, seaweeds, soups, spinach, stews, tomato

Sources of #GABA:
Adzuki bean, barley, broccoli, buckwheat, chestnut, common bean, kale, lupin, maypop, mouse-ear hawkweed, oat, pea, pokeroot, potato, rice, shiitake, soya bean, spinach, St John’s wort, sweet potato, tea, tomato, valerian, wheat, wild celery

Sources of #Dopamine:
Aubergine, avocado, banana, common bean, apple, orange, pea, plantain, spinach, tomato, velvet bean

Sources of #Serotonin:
Bananas, chicory, coffee powders, green coffee bean, green onion, hazelnut, kiwi, lettuce, nettle, Griffonia simplicifolia, paprika, passion fruit, pawpaw, pepper, pineapple, plantain, plum, pomegranate, potato, spinach, strawberry, tomato, velvet bean

Other symbionts🦠💩 in the human gastrointestinal tract have been shown to actively contribute to the production of NTs.
Lactobacillus > produce ACh
Lactobacillus brevis and Bifidobacterium dentium > produce GABA from monosodium glutamate

Lactococcus species > considerable GABA-producing ability
and GABA-producing strains have been isolated from Italian cheese, whole milk, and commercial soy sauce.
Fungi > Aspergillus nidulans > produce GABA.

Members of Bacillus and Serratia are > generated from biologically active dopamine in the lumen of the intestine.
Bacterial strains Lactococcus lactis, L. plantarum, Escherichia, Morganella morganii, K. pneumoniae, Hafnia alvei, Candida, and Enterococcus > serotonin-producing

Lactobacillus reuteri > converts ingested histidine to histamine

Based on these data it would be beneficial for subjects suffering from
Alzheimer's disease or dementia (for example, an ACh diet),

Epilepsy or migraines (for example, a diet without glutamate),
Anxiety or insomnia (for example, a GABA diet). ),
Parkinson's disease (ie, a dopaminergic diet),
Depressive disorders (ie, a serotonergic diet), and
Vascular headaches (ie, a diet, a histamine-free diet).
